Sometimes you read things on the East Nashville Facebook group, and you just have to shake your head and move on. And sometimes things just make you so curious you have to check things out for yourself. This was one of those posts. While we know that the job market in Nashville is very hot right now, and it helps to know someone; we happen to be one of the healthcare epicenters in the country. There are more open healthcare related jobs here than you can imagine. We have 2…

The Shelby Bottoms Golden Pheasant – from Bucket List Item to Mail Order Bird Bride?
If you’ve walked, biked, ran, or even skated the Shelby Bottoms Greenway, you’ve probably passed by an East Nashville treasure without even knowing it. Even if you didn’t see him, he likely saw you! The bird we speak of is the elusive East Nashville Golden Pheasant. He appears in some articles – even the folks at the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center didn’t seem to believe he existed until a few years ago when multiple sightings and photos convinced them he wasn’t just a neighborhood bird taking a lunchtime visit across…
.40 Caliber Shell Forces Resident from East Nashville Home – Realtors Rejoice!
As seen on today’s episode of the East Nashville FB Group Live!, a local resident Tasha Thompson screams (bloody murder!, perhaps?) about finding a spent .40 caliber Smith & Wesson shell at the end of her driveway. Plot Twist: it appears to be near-ancient and has likely been in her yard for over a year! So what’s all this fuss really about? It turns out that Tasha Thompson was at the end of her driveway in East Nashville yesterday when the found (read: likely dug up, judging by the dirt…
Shelby Park Poop Patrol
Someone (with WAY too much chalk and time on their hands) has managed to walk the first 1.5 miles of the Shelby Park walking trail and point out every piece of shit they could find. There were 7 instances they found that were visible from their vantage point, and boy did they decide to let us (and YOU!) know. Franky, anyone who has enough time to bring chalk, walk the 1.5 miles they covered, and individually mark each instance of ‘poop’ – also had enough time to be a kind…
Welcome to Nashville…
The amazing guys over at That’s Classic Media have made a hit – and we think you’ll like it. In fact, it’s so good, we don’t have to say anything more. Some of our favorite lines: “Bellevue, Belle Meade and Brentwood aren’t far away, but the cops are a little anal so drive slow or you’ll pay.” “But head East to a place where the chicken is super hot. Grab a drink, read a book, walk home but don’t get shot.” What do you think, East Nashville? We think…
Best of East Nashville Craigslist: Washer from Hell
Best of – directly from craigslist! Here’s a direct link until it’s gone We’ve ALL had this washer and dryer before. From the ad: Greetings, friends. I am selling my GE washer and dryer set! I know what you.re thinking, “Seems too good to be true to get a washer dryer set for just $100” but, alas, you would be wrong.

Neighborhood Watch: Charles Chesney Caught in the Act?
One of our neighbors just posted a video of a theft that took place from his vehicle overnight – and as soon as I watched it I passed my phone around the table here at happy hour to those with me, and the funniest thing happened – the same thing came out of all of our mouths at almost the same times… it was a triple “Charles Chesney!” In case you missed it, we’ve covered Charles Chesney in the past. Now we’re not saying this IS Charles Chesney, we’d never…

[Preview] Upcoming Story on Alison Martel, Send us your tips!
A preview for Monday! We have to wonder how many people a certain Alison Martel (AKA Alison AMA-Musica) has conned into donating money for a family that she supposedly is state licensed to be a nurse for? We only ask because of a tip that shows she hold NO state license in nursing as purported, not even a CNA or tech, and she’s had 2 GoFundme’s shut down in the past 2 years in to this same ‘fundraising effort’. We’ll have more on Monday during my first article. We have…
